Chocolate Tart

Chocolate Ganache:

Ingredients

• 1 cup whipping cream
• 3 tbsp KESSLER’S® Alkalized Cocoa Powder
• 1 ¾ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Crust:

Ingredients

• 21 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
• ¼ cup melted butter

Garnish:

Ingredients

• Fresh strawberries
• Fresh blueberries
• Dusting of confectioners’ sugar

Procedure

1. To make the crust, combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Mix well and press on the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake briefly for 5 minutes in a 350F preheated oven. Cool then refrigerate while making the ganache.
2. To make the ganache, heat cream in a medium sauce pot over low heat. When hot, add KESSLER’S® Alkalized Cocoa Powder and mix well using a wire whisk. Continue heating until cream simmers. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate chips. Gently mix until smooth. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the ganache to prevent skin from forming and cool just until slightly warm.
3. Pour over chilled crust, smoothing and swirling the top. Chill for several hours until firm. Garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.
